we are shotgunning live on a Friday, Raymundo is piercing
the can. I mean, dude, this is hey, dude, Hey,

some guys just bite it. You know that. The claws
do it a lot easier than that. Sorry, guys, I'm
not used to a bood light. Yeah, I'm ready for coaching.
Just yeah, that's fine. Do you think Ray is gonna
puke on the board. No, yeah, it's a little early. Guys.
I know you listen to this podcast when you're going
home from your crappy jobs. But right now it's like
ten am, coach, poke the hole and let's do this thing.

(02:37):
Do you use these keys to get into your house? Yeah?
Those keys might be the dullest things I've ever seen.
Our keys usually sharp. Here we go, there we go, go.
It's Friday, babay Ross, This is so gross. What are
you talking about? You do this oday? All right? Three? Two? One? Boom?

(02:57):
Oh guys, oh my gosh, oh, oh my god. They
spilled half of it. No, they did great. There we go? Yeah,
oh god, that was nice. Hey what hey, Mattio, let
me ask you a question. Have you ever shot gun
to white claw? That sounds awful? Is that even is

(03:20):
that even possible? Whoa, don't ever say that statement again.
You don't like white claw. I really don't know. Okay,
you're dude. You are in the minority. You're the one
percent of America. No, I told you, I don't like
it either, Really, you don't like I bought a six
pack about black cherry. I think that's what it was,
and it was fine, But no, I didn't I didn't
really like it. All right, we likes it. Sororities, typical

(03:41):
guys in the west side of town, the suburbs love them. Okay,
that's how you feeling. That was great, dude? You good? Hey,
shotgun with my boy. Ask them. We're gonna do the menu.
The menu is all screwed up now because I didn't
know we were gonna have a special guest. So we
had an appetizer of shotgun mirrors. I know, but I
didn't know Matt Overton was stopping buy. So now that
Matt's here, I mean, we're gonna talk NFL. We're gonna

(04:03):
talk about his journey because he's a free agent right
now waiting for a team to call and say, hey,
let's go. I mean, but I also want to hear
his opinions on like right, Yes, Well that's why I
got Kevin Durant. He's coming into now. It seems like
a bitter dude. Like I don't know what is wrong
with the guy, but he's just weird to me. And
I'll tell you why. He is a strange fellow. Yes,

(04:25):
And how confident are you in the Astros? Okay? There
was a bet that was placed back in April and
it could net the guy like forty thousand dollars? Are
we still talking about Mattress Mac? No, no different, dude,
and so he puts so I want to know how
confident you are in the Astros? And there's a bet

(04:46):
on Burrow to win the Heisman, and the casino wanted
to settle with the guy up front because he bet
when he was two hundred to one odds. He's like, hey, hey,
we'll give you this amount of money if you cash
out now, and I want to know if you'd cash out. Interesting,
he's gotta be the front, uh. And then I mean,
we're supposed to do our speeches, but I guess we're
going to hold off scratch the speech. You do the
speech tonight. You're in front of your wife and kid.

(05:07):
Don't have to do it on the podcast. All right,
that too, okay, and hey he spent five hours putting
this together. And dear David Ross, what happened is the
Cubs hired David Ross as their new manager. But but
let's I mean preface, this is the Cubs are your team,
The Cubs are my team. This is your new manager. Yeah,

(05:28):
and my new manager of my favorite baseball team. And
they said that what set him apart was his pep
speech for spring training, like what he would give to
the team. And I'm like, really, so that's what you
look for to managers who could walk into spring training
and give a good pep talk. That's what got him
the job. To me, that just seems like the most
baffling requirement and a job interview. Okay, hey, David, so

(05:52):
spring training starts, what would you say of the team
on the first day of spring training? And he gets
up and gives a speech and that's what got him
the job. Yeah, it seems weird. I thought we would
give our speeches about the podcast. That would be interesting,
but I mean we were sold. Jam Pat dude, I
know Matto is your fiance or you guys married fiance
is in here? Is that a cult cheerleader to cult cheerleaders.

(06:16):
That's Sarah, right, okay, cult cheerleaders. I knew it. Next
to lunch box. Oh, Bree, okay, okay, Bree, got you?
Got you? Sarah did not? She did not, she was
not cheering. Wait, so we have to talk about this,
like do you guys meet on the field, like did

(06:37):
you like accidentally run out out of bounds? And oh,
excuse me, coach, we have already said this. They weren't
allowed to do it. Talk when when he was playing
they were friends, and then after the fact when he
went to a different team, right or she retired. That's
when you guys, we dated while I played, see so,
and but you're not on any team anymore, so you
can say all the real stuff. Now it's like random book.

(06:58):
She she wasn't. She cheered for what a half a season?
What we dated? Three months? Oh? That's it. So how
do you do do you meet at like a charity
of function? Or do you just see her on the field?
She saw him tackle Edelman. We all saw the picture. Yeah,
great picture, great picture, But no, Mike's for real, Like,
how does that work? Like because do you see the

(07:18):
cheerleaders not often? No, will we do we do appearances together,
That's what I meant. No, we didn't. We met through
a mutual friend. She was living with her at the
time and a teammate in my and myself. We would
go over on Monday nights to watch a Bachelor and
have win. Bachelor brought you together. That's where it's at
and you know how much over Monday nights. Monday nights, right,

(07:43):
and we'd go watch the show. And at the time,
she the girl that owns the home, had other cheerleaders
that lived with her, like a little sorority okay, freaking
cheerleader and like a year later or something like that,
and that's how we initially met, right, Yeah, through a
mutual friend. She hated the fact that it came over
She like, were you the only dude over there? Or

(08:05):
were there other guys? Other dudes? Okay you know and
uh still a smart player on your parking job, dude problem.
It was. It was fun. We had a good time.
It was like a tradition that did you go because
you knew what kind of house it was? Be real, Yeah,
there they cheerlead those are great people, so like, but
of course you go over there because listen, but they're
also on the same team, coach. Yes, there. If there's
hot chicks watching The Bachelor, and you watch the Bachelor

(08:27):
and you want to be around hot chicks, of course
you're going to go to the house. I mean it's
a full proof plan. Like, yeah, when I was in
a frat, I wasn't in one for a little while.
The girls would invite us over to their house and
the house mom would make us brunch. Did we really
want to go over there and have pillow talk with chicks? No,
but they're all hot and the house mom cooked for us.
Exact same comparison, Matt, kind of the same, okay, exactly.
So what season of The Bachelor are you? Do you

(08:49):
guys meet? Like, do you remember who was the Bachelor? Oh? Man,
this was twenty farmer, so it might have been that. Yeah. Yeah,
they they got arrested, Yes, drinking and driving. Yeah, they
gotta killed somebody. Well no, no he didn't. Well yeah,
well he did die, yeah, and he was drunk, but
no he didn't get charged with d W I don't think,
right because he fled. I mean, there's an answer all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

(09:12):
I think because that's crazy because my wife she went
into labor when we were watching the Bachelorette. Oh really yeah,
Becca season and that has nothing to do with the story,
No, no no, but it's like we're on the same level.
Were what wife moments happened during the Bachelor of the
Bachelrette and Bachelor in Paradise? Yeah, but she hated the
fact that I was at the house. When we would watch,
she'd be up in her room because she she didn't
want to. She was she was the captain, and as

(09:34):
the captain, she had to make sure that her girls
were respecting the rules of the game and they won.
She was a little bitter, she was a little upset,
so she hated the fact that I came. So who
was there? Manning you? Manning Dallas Clark, Wayne Dwight, Free,
Terry McAfee were That's what I pictured in my head.

(09:58):
I'm like, all the great O James is there? Before
we get into everything, we gotta play the game of
America Loves. It's called would you rather? Would you rather? Like?
It's okay, the audio is not working, guys. The audio
will work sometime this year. Sorry about that? Would you rather?
Halloween always be on the last day in October or

(10:19):
the last Saturday of October. I don't give a crap
when it is. It doesn't matter if it's on a Wednesday,
a Monday, a Sunday. I have kids, four kids, We
go trick or treating and then we call it a night.
You're not. But the whole point of the question is,
would you rather always be on the last Saturday of
October or what? Or the date October thirty first, care

(10:40):
couch October thirty first. This may be the dumbest would
you rather ever got Saturday? Hey? Because people have petitions
to get it on the last Saturday? So later, Well,
that doesn't matter. The kids aren't gonna stay out later.
My kids go to bed at nine to nine any
day of the week Saturday. They don't stay up later.
It's like they're tired. They wake up, they go to

(11:00):
bed at a certain time Saturday. But you're speaking from
a single dude. He's not, but I'm going into parenthood.
Fance is next to him. Okay, no, I'm talking. I'm
talking like you want to go to a party and
stay la right saying I would rather prefer to have
my doorbell ring Saturday evening in Tuesday evening until midnight.
The okay in the suburbs, lives on a lake. He

(11:23):
doesn't want the doorbell being rain. Guys, Listen, here's the
deal with the Halloween's in the middle of the week.
So I'm all about Saturday because then you got two
guaranteed party days Friday Saturday. But if it's a Tuesday
or Wednesday, the day the weekend before, do you dress
up in Halloween costumes? Trust me, I've been there before.
You wear the costume. Nobody at the bar is wearing
the costume the weekend before. Learned that the hard way.
It's apparently the weekend after when they go hard for

(11:45):
the Halloween costumes. Lunchbox, I think you are mistaking your
dates because it's always the weekend before. You're not going
to go out in November in the costumes. You don't
wait till the weekend after Halloween. Yeah, on my midday comes. Yes,
there's a day. So if it's a Thursday, that's Halloween,
it's the weekend after it. Now that may it just
depends where it falls. But I'm good with Halloween being

(12:07):
on the thirty first. Don't change it to be on
a quit being sissy's let your kids stay out late
on Halloween. It's one day out of the whole year.
Who gives them? I think it's about the kids. I don't.
These are just people that want to party on Saturday.
Well they can still party on they can still party
on Halloween. It's not your adults. Yeah, yeah, I mean
you go to work at nine am. If you roll

(12:28):
in thirty minutes late, what's the big deal. Yeah, most
bosses don't care. You can have your like costumes smeared
on your face a little bit. Just as long as
you show up for the day, you're good in. Most
companies have a costume contest. Yeah, show up in your
sexy catwoman outfit. No one cares. No one's gonna bat
an eye. You know, the sales ladies upstairs are doing
some costume contests. Sexy or if they want sexy Dorothy. Hey,

(12:49):
if they're doing door prizes and they want to win it,
they'll show up sexy Dorothy. Yeah you never seen sexy?
Oh yeah, fiance works at Lid's Court. So what do
you what do you jussing up as for your party? Okay, okay,
are you talking like, are you trying to go? Y'all
have top? Are you trying to go like they create

(13:10):
worked her bosses there, so they're gonna keep it appropriate,
Ris Coach. They're not showing up in lingerie. Can you
can you? I don't know how you can make the
best one of the best costumes I've ever seen. I
was in Arizona from my cousin's wedding. It was Halloween.
We go out to the bars. Someone was a tube sock.
It was genius, Like it was very simple. They're not
gonna be tupe socks. No, but it was life stock,

(13:31):
you know what I mean. I had the one green
ring around them, you know those old white like a
clean tube tube soccer or like no, no no, a clean one.
But it was just like it was creative because you
would nothing, you know, something simple. No one just some
random guy at the bar. You're giving a guy costume
to a girl. No, it could be I'm saying, it

(13:51):
can be something simple. It could be either or I
saw one homemade. It's kind of cool, but it's it's
it's gotta be a night thing. It was like a
stick man. So they wore like a like a regular
tight skin thing or whatever, and they tape glow sticks
all the way down. So at night you would just
it would be a stick man walk. I love it.
That's cool. So that was cool. Or they it was
either glow sticks or like rope lights. Either way. Okay,
here's the thing. Girls are all into the unitards now,

(14:13):
whatever you got to do with it's where they do
they wear. It's like catwoman, like a body suit. Those
are really really popular now. So anything you got to do,
wear the unitard in some sexy way. But all obviously
it's a corporate offic it's a corporate officer. We're not
trying to go sexy. But you can still be sexy
in the corporate office. Absolutely. And then obviously on top,
you gotta have the lid. You gotta support your compident

(14:33):
or something like that with the lid. We'll see I
I That's what my first thought was, since you'd work
for Lids, is if you could make a life size hat,
like be a hat, like like the tube sock. That's
where I was trying to go. I got you like
the tube sock? Would I like lids? By the way,
like I own probably four Lids hats, mostly because you
don't have to suck up. I'm not but mostly we
were in the city, guys, I like lids I go

(14:55):
to the mall, and I only go to Lids promo discount.
You know, I wear hats. Yeah, so I this one's
not what is this one? No that somebody gave me
this one. Hey guys, I go to Lids. Oh this
isn't a Lids. This is a surfer. Hey guys, Hey guys,
she weren't Lids. Oh my gosh, I love it. It's
like I'm going to bake on the lids since I
was like fourteen, Do I sound like that? No? You know,

(15:16):
thank you, Matt. What is that had? Is? That? Is
that Pittsburgh dud Puma? Man? Okay, that's Ricky Fowler rick
Foller fan You what, dude? Ricky Follers swagged out, Man,
are you playing a little bit more golf now? They
have in Florida. I was just said, yes, in Florida,
I played. I played twice a week in Florida almost.

(15:37):
Oh nice, nice? That is beautiful. Mean for thirty bucks,
you have some of the best courses in the world.
I've heard it's real cheap. Yeah, really cheap. Because I've
had buddies go on vacation there. Eddie included and say, man,
there's so many golf courses. It's twenty five thirty bucks. Boom,
you're on the course and they're beautiful. Here we pay
fifty bucks for a crappy play. Unis here are ridiculous.
But in India, I played twice in the past, played

(15:57):
with my dad last weekend and then played at the
Lips Lids corporate outing. Oh they had an outing. Oh
great outing, the best I've had, the best of one too.
Do you love lids too? I have you been going
to Lids since you were fourteen? Now about I was
probably seventeen eighteen ish. He's making fun of me. But
thanks for your honest answer. All right, let's talk Matt.

(16:18):
You nfl okay? I mean I don't. I don't want
to bring up bad memories. But the seasons about the
start and you get released by the Jaguars. Did you
have any idea? No? Blindsided? Blindsided? So how does like
like for people that are listening that have never you know,
how does that happen? Like? How does it go down?

(16:39):
If you don't want to talk about you just get
that dreaded phone call? Man, Oh, it's a phone call.
It's a phone call? Yeah, dang is it a phone call? Like? Wow?
You're time. Of course it's a phone call. What No,
is it a face? Is it a phone call like
when you're expecting to do something, right before you're expecting
to do something, or when it is so Saturday, So Saturday,

(16:59):
is it like six am they wake you up? Or
is it? No? It was on a Sunday that they
called me. But Saturday they announced the fifty three man roster.
So I was on the roster then that's what I'm saying.
And then so by I think Sunday, by four pm
they had to have the roster's finalized. So they do
a lot of acquisitions from other guys that are getting
released from teams um and so on noon that Sunday,

(17:20):
the GM called, Hey, Matt, it's one of those tough days,
you know. That's what they say. That's how the conversation. Hey,
it's one of those tough things, you know, like those
tough days. Man. So why when you see it's the
GM calling you do you know immediately? Oh? Yeah, for sure? Who? No,
this is in jack Jacksonville, Jacksonville. Dave called Will if

(17:42):
you don't but he called me, Hey, you know, when
you get a chance, come and see the coaches get
your stuff. You gotta hit him with the nah, I'm good, dog, No,
I'm busy today, man. You know I'm trying to let's
go oh, hold on real quick, goes there calling dog

(18:02):
and then U. Then my coach called, Okay, hey, tough day.
Huh like, yeah it is? And then I would you
would you rather your coach not call after the GM calls?
Is it just kind of like okay, they're just trying
to be nice or do you is it? It's just
that was I've been through it before. It every team's different.
You know. Sometimes they'll call, scout will call, or somebody

(18:24):
will call to say the GM wants to see U.
Like when I got released from the Colts, I got
a text message, oh on Monday morning before Yeah, from
from one of the from one of the front office people. Hey,
you know when you get into when you get into
the office, come see the GM. Bring your bring your
playbook kind of thing, bring your iPad. Okay, So I

(18:46):
knew what it was, right, So you get you get released,
and what's the what's your immedi Do you go to
the bar and get hammered, like to drown your feelings
or do you just get on the phone with your
agent start. I mean, how does it work? I called
my fiance told her she was you need that comfort? Yeah,
I needed a little little got that. What does she

(19:08):
say to you? Like, what do you say when you
get a call? She was upset? Right, No, no, I'm
I'm This is because listen, I hate to bring up
the bad memories, but this is an inside look that
our listeners have would never understand how it works and
what the feelings are. And so I just wonder where
you go from there? Do you immediately fly back to

(19:29):
Indie or do you immediately start calling other teams? How
does it work? Training that day? What's that? Yeah? No,
it's actually at the beach. We had a hurricane coming coach.
Hurricane Hurricane I went ter, what what was flying through?
What was it? I don't remember Hurricane Aficionado so Irma No, no, no, no,

(19:55):
I don't know. Irma was last year. Um no, I'm
at the beach because like before my first year in Jacksonville,
we actually got hit by hurricane and like the surf
and the weather's crazy, it's like kind of cool. Get
the boards, everyone's out there. Yeah, you're right, Yeah, best
surf of the year. So I got out to the
beach and I'm walking around and everyone's out taking pictures

(20:16):
because like, the clouds are crazy, the waves are crazy,
and this is like three days out before it actually
hits the mainland. And so I was out there and
got the got the phone call it there, so immediately
called her, walked back to the house, called my mom,
my dad, called a couple of my like my kickerom Punter,
told them, and then UM kind of just sat there

(20:39):
and chilled for a couple of hours because I had
to figure out what I was gonna do. Am I
gonna am I gonna wait this hurricane thing out, or
I'm just gonna say deuces and packed my stuff and
hit a flight home, you know, because but I had
my car there too, So yeah, what do I do?
So talked to her a little bit, Um talked to
my agent. Two. I went in, and you know, going
into the locker room sucks, you know because the only

(21:00):
people that are in there on Sunday are dudes that
are getting released. Oh guys walking out with black trash
bags with all this stuff walk in. Do you guys
talk to each other or is it just kind of
you give each other to look like you know what
you're going through a little bit. If you don't know
the guy, it's kind of like, hey man, good luck,
you know. But if you knew that, if you know
the guy, you kind of just say, hey man, what happened?
And like what they say? You know, it sucks, right,

(21:21):
But so I go in there, clean my locker room out,
give some big bro hugs to like the equipment guys
and you know, medical staff people. And it sucks because
I don't even get to see like the dudes that
I really want to see, right, you know, like the teammates.
You never got to say goodbody, like the Jaguar mascot.
No Jack's no. No, that suck. Yeah, Like even my
kicker and punter. I didn't even get lamb no, no lambo,

(21:45):
no lambo hug dude, you know, Like I mean, it sucked,
you know. But uh so I packed my stuff. I said,
I'm not gonna sit I'm not gonna sit around because
they were closing the beaches. Okay, you know, so you
don't want to be around hurricanes coming through. And he
guy got by the team coach and you made it
out on the other side talking about a storm coming broe. Yeah,
so I got on a flight. I left my car

(22:07):
at the airport, figured that was the safest place for
it to be. And uh, I got all my stuff
and my locker said my good Byas to the coaches, um,
it was crazy too. Man's like I talked to the GM.
Me and the GM are cool. But Tom Coughlin is
essentially like the GM two right. I thought, that's who
would call you. He wasn't. And he walked past me

(22:28):
in the hallway. He was the first person that I
saw when I walked to the hallway. Oh okay, he
didn't say nothing to me. He probably don't know. No,
he makes the decision, yeah, but but he didn't even
like did he did he look down at the ground
or did he make eye contact? Because I said, I
said hey TC, and he said hey Matt. That was it. Okay,
he knows you, yeah, I know, I mean yeah, he

(22:50):
knows everything everybody on that team like he's the one
that makes personal And I respected him so much, right,
and so that hurts. And I loved playing under him
because everybody that I knew that had played with him
in New York like the great, the hard He's a
hard note coach. He's he's old school, but like you love,
you run through a brick wall for the dude, And
so I kind of lost a little bit of respect

(23:11):
because like he didn't even like say nothing, and I
figured that, hey, because I'm the oldest dude on the team, right,
Oh yeah I'm you know, he's grandpa. Yeah, I'm, I'm,
I'm And I know I've kind of been a guy
that's been back and forth on the squad and whatnot.
But let's not at least he'd say something, but he didn't.
So I was a little man TC didn't even like

(23:33):
but hey, there's still a chance you can play for right.
So so now the season starts and you're thinking, Okay,
someone's gonna call you know, your agent is probably I
never it's I've been through before. I knew that. In
my position, there's only one dude on the team. So
there's thirty two guys, so thirty one other teams. If
you know what sucks if someone has to get hurt essentially,

(23:54):
which is terrible. Yeah, it's terrible to think. In the
past two seasons, that's how I've been resigned. If someone
someone got hurt, it just will happen to be in Jacksonville. So,
I mean, this is a terrible thing to say, but
just a little bit of you deep down, like when
you watch football, don't ask it. Let's go and ask
that question. You hoping somebody gets hurt. No, do you
check the injury report every Sunday? I mean I do.

(24:16):
I do. That's what I'm asking I do check because
if something does happen, typically on a Monday is when
i'd find out if the team's gonna bring me in. So,
like last last week, I went to Houston, the Texans
brought me in for a workout, and yeah, their guy
was kind of banged up in the game before. Yeah
he wasn't he was sucking d He's throwing it left
right all over the place, dude, but he got a
little banged up and so and then nothing came. No,

(24:39):
they worked worked out, and it's kind of like a
precautionary thing, like they bring in guys to see who's
in shape and who's ready to roll. If like their
dude like can't go anymore, You're right a roll? Yeah, absolutely,
you see me shocking that beer. Well if you follow
him on Twitter, Instagram, always like that. But I'm doing
real estate now, good coach, you have an amazing life

(25:00):
outside of football. Ye worry, that's why you were one
of the smarter NFL players. Dude, you're so busy outside
of the NFL. I mean you just flew flowed right
into it. Yeah, I mean you know the say. I mean,
you know, the NFL is short, it is, absolutely and
I'm thirty four and I've been lucky to play a
kids game this long. So like, absolutely, there's a lot
of blessings in it. But deep down, you still want
to play. Deep down you still want to. My fiance

(25:23):
I have had those hard hitting, you know, tough conversations
about like when when is it time to kind of
hang it up? And I told her this year like
I'm my heart still wants to play, and I can
do it, and I'm physically in shape. I'm ready to roll. Now.
It's hard leaving her, right, yeah, but you know they're
sacrifices on both ends, you know. And so she's she's

(25:43):
my number one cheerleader. Yeah yeah, captain. And then and
you know, if if it comes, she's it's hard, but
she's gonna support me and we're gonna we're gonna make
it happen. But question, Yeah, Are you a football fan, Like,
are you watching on Sundays? Yeah, you're watching every coach
she's watching. No, No No, because some people, once you're in
the game, you lose that fandom, Like you you don't.

(26:04):
You don't watch this money because you're right, and you
those times where I I don't want I mean, I
have it on the TV. Did you watch last night's
Thursday inn at football game? No? I was driving down
here in Nashville podcast. I mean it was kind of yeah, exactly,
it's a board game. He is busy. Did he doesn't
want to watch the Crappers, don't want to watch the
you know when it's gonna be ball. I just so

(26:25):
you watch the Colt do you? Yeah? Okay, since you
got cut from the Jaguars, do you cheer against them? No?
I want them to be great. I want them to win.
I love Minshew coming in and being a baller and
dominating and I mean they're they've had a kind of
a rough year. They've only won two games. Yeah, so

(26:45):
he's awesome. So so when he took over when Foles
gets hurt, Yeah, are you thinking like, oh man, he's
this is this this good? He can well, he had
a he had a he had a rough preseason. And
it's not a knock on him. It's just the fact
that when you have a guy playing with the third
string OH line, running back receivers, you can't really can't
really shine because because they don't have the studs around you.
Right now that he's playing with the ones, he's a

(27:07):
good quarterback obviously and putting up record breaking numbers and
and Mencea Mania is rolling and all that kind of stuff,
and it's awesome to see him step up and just
ball out. Yeah what about m dude? Yeah that was

(27:27):
a ball move. But is he just a I mean, god,
get this guy off my team? No, best, probably the
best athlete I've ever been around. Wow, yeah you want
you want him on your team? But this is I
love this conversation because what he lunch box gets from
the media and social media and videos and what everyone
else is talking about. You hate the dude, absolutely? No, No,

(27:49):
I don't. Everyone everyone hates on you on social media,
this guy, I don't. I don't hate Jalen Ramsey. I
love like when he when he Restructive training Camp or whatever,
I on this podcast said that was an awesome baller. Now,
Antonio Brown is the exact I'm like, this dude's an idiot,

(28:11):
Like I think he's an idiot, and I don't think
anybody wants to be around him. Yeah, well, I mean
I don't think Jalen Ramsey's on that level of being
but being Antonio Brown annoying and causing distractions. Ramsey's there,
he plays like, he plays hard, and he played Antonio
Brown is still just like filming in the locker room
and just causing the distractions that are unnecessary. Ramsey, he

(28:34):
just wants to get paid, he wants his contract, and
when he's there, he's playing. Yeah, I agree, and so
I don't I don't put them on the same level.
So when I feel like you're backing up from your
statements whenever no one's around, Like, I get it that
I've always I said, I love Ramsey. No, he has
opinions on a lot of these players, Like he's gonna
talk about KD in a minute, Like he has these

(28:54):
opinions and players based on what he sees and what
he reads about. Right. But but but in reality, like
we people don't know these dudes. We don't know that.
Nobody knows you, nobody knows us. Yeah, but they think
they do. They know US's no, like he just said
about Lunchbox, Like this is one of the sweetest dudes ever. Yeah,
some people hate on him because he has strong opinions,

(29:15):
but it's not the case the same with a lot
of these athletes. We don't know these dudes. But I
went to when I was not no longer part of
the Jack's team, I went to Twitter and I said, listen,
you do not let Jalen Ramsey go Oh. I saw
you say that he is general generational players like the
Raiders with Khalil Mack, absolute players like that. You don't

(29:37):
let go. You do not let go coach. Oh, I
have a question. Go ahead, Hey, you said when the
Indie fans turned on uh, what's his name? Luck? Luck?
You said that you pay for season ticket tickets? Did
you have to pay for any season tickets? Yeah? I
got some. Hey, hey, brother, it's funny. He went on
a lamb and he said that he would pay for
any season ticket holder if they wanted to get rid

(29:58):
of the tickets because Luck left the team. It was
just it was disgusting. He went on a limb. Dude.
I found out about this on sports on watching the game.
It was on the crawl on the bottom on the
crawl and I was like, oh, I took a picture
and say part as he gets cut like a week

(30:18):
later and it's like, oh, I should got to pay
for these. Yeah, but what you're doing is a great thing.
You're doing a great thing. But what the Colts fans did, Coach,
I was just the sports fans for you. No, absolutely,
those are just in Those are just idiots, beers. Yeah,
there was, there was. Listen, it's the third quarter of

(30:39):
like the third preseason game of the season, right, so
you probably have thirty thousand fans there, right, Jacoby's not
even playing. All the third stringers are playing from the
guys are on the bubble, right, Luck is on the
sideline in shorts like this is when the ankle issue
was like, you know, we don't know his time line.

(31:00):
We're hoping he's back for week one. He did. He
did an on field workout pregame which went viral because
everyone was like, oh, he looks good, you know, like
he looks strong, and the dude is probably in the
best shape of his life. Right, So for the news
to break third quarter of a meaningless game, when people
probably just go there to drink, right, and he's physically

(31:21):
on the sideline, right, and everyone's like, is this a joke?
Like is Adam Schefter like just pulling one here to
get hacked or whatever the deal is. And then I
mean the whole place this went like bonkers, yeah, booing
him and all this kind of stuff, and like, I mean,
it's not a confusion, right. I mean, I don't blame
the fans for reacting that way, because if I was

(31:43):
a normal fan, I probably be pissed too. The dude's
on the sideline, he retires. Did you think it was
the wrong time to send that? Like somebody somebody caused something. Yeah,
but somebody in the inner circle, someone in the trust
nest should should be you know, the rat needs to
be exposed because there was there had an auto set

(32:07):
to report later. It actually went off early. And him
game he had the Eastern Times coach. He's pretty respected
like everybody, and he has he has his finger on
the pulse of everything, right, like he knows what's going on,
but it also is a pre season game. Who gives it? Yeah,
but he's on the he's on the side. The last
time him walking off the field is him getting booed
and like that and like rushed off the field, you know.

(32:28):
And then watching and watching the interview, you could obviously
see how distraught and like mentally worn out. Luck was right,
And I had no idea that it was that bad,
you know, But I played with the guy for five
years and the dude, the dude went through a car
accident every single Sunday. So I love the dude to
respect him, and he's an awesome, incredible player, and I
think the decision to walk away you talk to him,

(32:51):
no sense, no us. He's shown on the couch, he
had a beer belly. Now the neighbors the lake because
each other and they're sitting on the lunch. I wish,
But everything I've heard is he's in good. He's still
at the facility, like helping Brissette out, and Brissette's good
great as a cults organization. Do you think they did
that on purpose to make Andrew feel bad, like the

(33:15):
help they put it out at that point, I don't.
I don't know. All I knew. All I know is
that they were They already had a scheduled media day Sunday.
It's supposed to be Sunday afternoon or something like that. So,
what's the theory that the Colts let Adam Schefter know
no coach every Days in advance? Or this was this

(33:36):
was known about a weekend, the Cults, everybody in the
Colts New Days beforehand, right, so it just leaked and
then Chefters like, well, screw it, I'm gonna send out
my tweet. It got to word got to Chefter, Hey,
this is about to leak early, and Chefters like, screw it,
I'm sending out the tweeting I'm I'm the NFL guy. Mother?
Is that on top of this? Is that true? It's
got you know the Colts New Days in advance? I

(33:58):
have an ins they never released, did Yeah, someone inside
that organization leaked it to Schefter. That's what happened inization.
Someone in the trust circle went to Chefter and said, hey,
Andrew Lucks' retiring, you're good to go, because don't you
have to tell Adam Chefter you're good to go? Like,
doesn't he have to have that respect to for them

(34:20):
and they have to have that respect for him. Well
that's why he got so much backlashes, Like, dude, there's
gotta be some integrity here, Like we understand that you break,
I know, but somebody had to have told him, like, dude,
you're good to go. I think someone has to tell him, hey,
because you'd be an idiot to be like, oh, you're
just telling me and I can send it whatever. I'm
gonna do it right now during this game. Well, I
think they say someone in the organization probably tell In
my opinion, this is what happens. They go, whenever you

(34:41):
have breaking news you want to get out there, you say, hey,
you release it when you want, but don't associate me
with it. Yeah, and then then Schefter's like, well, I
gotta be the first one to That's why they always
say per source. You know, it's like perse source, you know, like, yeah,
Chefter probably knew days in advance too that this is
about to happen on Sunday. But he wants the wants
to go viral with the news and be the man
to do it. And he did it. You know, that's

(35:03):
his job. He really is like the insider right. Yeah,
Now it's like the where's the integrity? Do you give
the man the opportunity to least exit the field after
the game? Yes, you know he deserves that. You could
have done it, right, after the game. Absolutely, right after
the game. Yeah, no need to know it. When he's
so question away from this, you guys are ready to

(35:23):
move on. Yeah, I'm ready to move on. I've always
wondered after the game, when everyone starts hugging each other
and meeting each other from different teams, like what who
are you looking for? Do you go for? Like I
go straight to the kicker, punter, snapper. Okay, yeah, that's
like you never go to Brady. I mean I'll probably
just tap him on the back and just walk by.
Yeah a little bit, So you have touched Brady. Yes,

(35:49):
that's awesome. No, but I specialists go straight to the
special That's just that's just the unwritten law of like respect.
Coach goes to coach, wide receiver goes to wide receiver,
you go, you go to your boys, and you kind
of mingle at the fifty yard line. See who you
went to school with. I went to a school that
has nobody in the NFL. So like, I'm okay, So
it legitimately is like I haven't dude, I haven't seen

(36:10):
you in like a couple of years. Former teammates, you know,
all that kind of stuff. And then uh, and then
we do, like, you know, we do a prayer circle too,
so that's kind of a thing. Answer, Um, the chicks
like that, dude, every time my prayer circle. Yeah, she's like,
those guys are awesome. That's why they do it. Obviously,
they do it for the chicks. You're just telling you, dude,
But yeah, answer your question. We go out there, we

(36:33):
go straight to the kicker, appenter snapper, former teammates, former
college teammates, just your boys, yeah, you know, and and
what do y'all tell each other? I don't know a
lot of guys jersey swap. When did that become a thing,
because it's just he who does it? Who is the NBA?
Who was the first thing? Oh Dwayne Wade? Right, yeah,

(36:55):
he gave a jersey to every single person in the NBA. Basic, Right.
I don't mind when you're a superstar, but when Dwayne
Wade jersey sweatshirt after every show, the number three guy
off the bench, I'm like, get out of here, Like
that's just dumb. So I don't know. Well, so because
you're charged per jersey, so if you yeah, and some
teams have certain rules saying like if you are going

(37:16):
to give your jersey away, after that, you let us know.
If not, you were going to find you guys dot
com chart like prices dollars a jersey one on can't
you just buy one then on NFL dot com. But
there's some but there's some guys that don't have reserve jerseys, right,

(37:36):
so you put your you put your guys in a
tough spot. Like, hey, man, our third string cornerback just
gave away his jersey. We don't have one for next week.
We need to go get one, right, So like Peyton Manning,
Peyton Manning was always known for he would wear a
jersey pre game and he would always give his pregame
jersey away and come out in a fresh jersey for

(37:56):
the game. Okay, so all the signed jersey stuff was
always a pre game game warn Yes, And that's sort
of like game like game used baseball. Every pitch they
throw it in the dirt, they throw it out. So
you can say I got a World Series Baseball it was,
but I've jersey swapped. I swapped with vine Terry had
to do that. I mean, that's okay, and then uh

(38:18):
Luke Rhods, a snapper for the Colts. Now we've jersey
swapped and then, uh, and with those jerseys, you frame them,
put them up in your house or do you just
put them in a box? Frame them for sure? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah.
And then when I went to the Pro Bowl, I
swapped with Gostkowski and the specialist there for their Pro Bowl.
So that was cool too. But so you don't have
your own Pro Bowl jersey, No I do, but I swapped.

(38:39):
I swapped game jersey. Game. I gave a Colts jersey. Tocow. Hey, coach,
I got a question. What was something we did a
couple of weeks ago, maybe lunchbox did it? Would you
rather and this is a good one for you, would
you rather be a kicker or a punter? A punter? Yeah,
that's what I said. Yeah, you don't want the pressure
you got a play like five times a game, Well
a kicker, right, There's way more pressure on a kicker

(39:01):
because there's points on the line every single time, right,
And I just think it's to be honest with I
think it'd be cooler to be a punter. Huh. You'd
you'd be the punter and holder, yeah, which is a
which is a huge task. Holder is so stressful. Yeah. Yeah,
I'm definitely a punter because I feel like you can
just like if you shank one, it's all good. It's
it's it is what it is. Oh well, yeah, like

(39:23):
you get pissed and you move on. No one remember
for five seconds. Yeah, and then a double doin that.
I mean, they'll remember that. We don't need we don't
need to get on the double doing because that's my boy. Man. Okay, okay,
if you won a double doing, you're right, hell yeah.
But but here's my thing. Here's my thing I brought in.
I'm like, they why do they keep calling him double doing?

(39:45):
Like it's just a rude term that all these announcers
anytime his face is on the screen kicking for the
Titans down of course, so they call him that. Here
is double every time he shows up on TV, there's
double doink. Okay, it's the same reason they call Mark
Sanchez butt fumble. I mean they even brought it up
on Monday Night Football when he's not even playing. It's rude.
He's oh, you know, it's like butt fumble. You don't

(40:07):
remember that. It's like, it's like my boy Colt Anderson
and Griff filand they're gonna be known for the worst
NFL play in history. They just talked about it. It
was like the anniversary, the four year anniversary for the
fake punt that we ran against Well, okay, you know,
and those two, those two guys get they get, you know,
exposed every year, like, oh, this is the fifth in
year anniversary for the worst NFL play in history, and

(40:28):
they show it. It's like, you know, it sucks. But
if I was, if I was Parky double Dooint, Double Dooint,
I would trademark the heck out of that, and I
would turn it into an awesome thing because people would buy.
People would certainly buy a double doint t shirt, right absolutely,
they would, especially Packer fans Eagles fans because they let
the Eagles go on in the playoffs. Bears fans are

(40:49):
not gonna buys a positive thing. But I'm just funny, Like,
as a Bears fan, I'm not buying a double doint
t shirt because it's gonna remind me of us losing
to the damn Eagles in the playoffs. Hey, I'm not
buying what What's like. He's a great kid. He was
in he was in the cold. He was with us
of the Colts twenty thirteen, fourteen or something, and he
had an awesome preseason. Obviously you're not gonna beat up

(41:10):
Vinitary and uh, they ended up trading him to the
Eagles that year, and he was a pro bowler that year.
People don't remember that like he was. He probably do
not remember he was a pro bowl I don't Reilly,
I don't remember. Tough place to kick. And then he
went and signed a great deal with Miami, you know,
and then signed another great deal with Chicago because he
had another great Wow, he's a good kick of Chicago

(41:30):
is just a tough place to play, a plus a
tough place to kick. It's called the Windy City. Yeah,
the ball hit a finger, folks, let's not forget that.
You're right and hit a couple posts. Yeah, but you
know so, I mean, like in in what the coach
Naggie has Pinnaro has done a good job, has done

(41:53):
a really really good job. He's he's composed and my
inside source. He didn't know of the situation and prior so,
he didn't know about Parky. He didn't know the significance
of the forty three yard right hash kick when they
made these kickers do it every single day in practice.
He didn't know the significance of that kick. He was like,
from my source, he was they made these kickers and tryouts,

(42:16):
they had a kick. Oh they had They had like
twelve kickers in there through the off season, so he
didn't know that he had. It's like, coach, why do
you keep making me kick these forty three yards from
the right hash And he's like, wait, you serious, Like
you don't know, like why we're doing this? No, Like
what's the deal. It's like because double double donk missed
it from the rights people are trying to people. By

(42:40):
my point is is that they had blown it up
into such a big deal that not a big deal, right, yes,
and you have you have tainted that position for the rest.
So whoever was going to feel it whether Robbie Gould
came out from the nine. And that's the dumbest move
we made, is getting Robbie Gold anyway, Like they didn't
want to pay him in the originally and we let
him go, and then we've been going through kickers because

(43:01):
we had one of the best in the NFL and
we think, oh, he's not worth it. It's hard to find.
That's why the Patriots, that's why the Colts. You don't
see them switching kickers every year. They just got nuity
because I are facts, Yeah, because I are, but I
will This is my debate. When people get pissed off
that a team drafts a kicker, punter, or snapper in

(43:22):
the fifth or sixth round, how pissed do you get
when they don't they sign these people and they keep
missing and they got a turnover ki. My argument is
people are like, why do you draft a specialist? Listen,
because that person has a great potential to be there
for the next ten to fifteen years, when a cornerback,
running back, low lineman probably won't make the team. That's
what people don't understand. A lot of those draft picks

(43:42):
are wasted, like Sebastian Janikowski, second round pick or first
for whatever. He was right, he was all the cheeseburgers, though, dude,
he's gonna be crushing beers somewhere right now. He's living
life in Jacksonville. He lives in jackson doesn't really Yeah, smart,
but I think he was a first round pick. I
believe so. But people looking back, are you gonna complain
that you drafted the dude that was the dude? Yeah? Right?

(44:05):
You got twenty years out of them, and if you
draft someone else, they're probably in the league maybe three years,
four years, five years, and yeah, they can be out.
A lot of first round picks are washes. But let's
move on from the Let's talk Matt over and let's
talk basketball. Oh yeah, my favorite, my favorite topic. Do
you watch basketball? No? Have you ever talked tennis before? Matt?
You don't watch basketball? And the NBA is the worst. No,
I'm not gonna watch it whatever, even championships, I don't know.

(44:28):
You'd maybe playoffs, right, maybe if Golden States in it,
because I'm from the Bay Area, and if the Pacers
are playing well, I'll watch the Pacers are good. It's
just such a long season, coach, like baseball, I'm not
gonna watch one hundred and sixty two two games. You
don't watch baseball? No, do you like the postseason in baseball? Sure,
it's it's cool. Warts it's fine, it's it's all right.
It's average football. And that's it. That's what I'm saying. Yeah,

(44:51):
because every week counts, coach, every week counts. College football.
You can't lose one game. No, you can lose one game.
Now that you maybe if you're out Obama now now
that you have playoffs, you can lose one game now,
but you can't be you can't be Michigan or a
team that's a top ten team. My thing with college football,
here's my problem with college football there is they don't

(45:12):
play anybody. I hate game like, they just play these
like they play nobody a lot of the times, like
Clemson in the preseason. You know that you play Wofford
State and the Mexico State weeks it's just terrible, Like
I wish we just like in the like before non conference, yea,
Alabama played Clemson. You know that is your playoff game. Though, Okay,

(45:36):
that's that. You gotta save that. No, you can't blow that.
In the first week that Texas credit because they made
a home at home, so they LSU went to Texas.
Those are good, But then the next week they go
and play Little Sisters of the Poor and it's like,
this is so stupid. I understand. But then a on

(45:59):
the side of savers on the flip side of it,
I mean, you got teams like Georgia State coming in
and smack in Tennessee like, I mean, exactly, great point, coacher,
I mean, hey, that's pretty cool. App State back in
the day beating Michigan. I mean that's half States still good.
I mean, that's a legendary game takes. I get Corey
Lynch shout out, blocking the blocking the field goal, taking
it to the house. And the thing too is they

(46:19):
can't predict how good anyone's gonna be, so they can't
schedule these games out. I mean, and it's a moneymaker
for the small school sure, but but they really should
aim to have five really good games a week. Well,
my problem is a lot better than but it's hard
to listen. I know it's hard to predict who's gonna
be good, but you know New Mexico State of the
Valley is not gonna be good. So don't put them

(46:40):
on your damn schedule. Like, just don't put them on
the schedule. Those are the moneymakers. Like Matt just said, though,
yeah but if you and then you saving gets mad
when students don't come or they leave early, because, yeah,
you're playing the little sisters of the damn poor. That's
why they don't want to sport nothing a half time.
I get it. I I don't like how Notre Dame
and these other schools don't have a conference, but at least.

(47:02):
Notre Dame plays tough schedule. They play, they go to Georgia,
they play USC every year they have, they play Michigan.
They're gonna go outside him in Michigan. This weekend, I mean,
this weekend college football is good because you have LSU, Auburn,
you have Michigan State, Penn State. Yeah, you have Arkansas, Alabama,

(47:28):
you have Ohio State and Wisconsin. Yeah you got I
mean the games, yeah, big games this weekend. Ohio State
in Wisconsin. What's the line on that thirteen? Give me
the buck eyes? A conference game? What what would the
line have been if Wisconsin did not lose to exactly
been exactly been ten and a half. Yeah, I was

(47:50):
pulling for Wisconsin. I thought they were gonna run the table.
But Ohio State, I think they might be the team
to win it this year. They wouldn't be the one
I would say, if it's not Alabama or Clemson, it's
gonna be them. I think they might have a good chance.
I said, Ohio State, Wisconsin, that's all that matters in
the Big Ten. And then last week I'm like, Okay,
it's only Ohio State, Ohio State. To me, watching college
football is the best team in the country. Number two

(48:11):
is LSU because LSU's actually played someone, so I can
kind of tell, like I watched him. I'm like, Okay,
you're gonna take LSU over Oklahoma. Yeah. Um, who's the
who's the Heisman front runner right now? Burrow? It's gotta
be Brussels or what's his name? Joe Burrow? Yeah, from LSU.
The quarterback Jalen Hurts isn't No, he's good, but I

(48:33):
don't know if he's Joe Burrow good like in the
Heisman reason. So here, thank you for bringing up the Heisman.
There was a guy perfect fifty dollars when Joe Burrow
was two hundred to one odds to win the Heisman Trophy. Okay,
so the casino just offered him thirty eight hundred dollars
to cash out. Now said here, dude, we'll just pay
you thirty eight hundred bucks. Would you take the thirty

(48:55):
eight hundred or you're gonna let it roll? That's fifty
bucks let it ride. What was the line? How much
was he gonna win? He's gonna win ten k. Yeah,
you're right though with Jalen hurt So he's number two.
Burrows one Hurts is right behind him in the front
runner face to a third an win. He's injured, coach,
you can't accept the Heisman injured? How long is his injury?
I mean, is he Well, he's gonna I think he's

(49:17):
gonna be back for the LSU game. So oh, Sam
Ellinger seventy five to one. Sam is not even gonna
So is this guy gonna take the cash out right now?
Is No? He's turned down their office for him, right,
Why would you take fifty bucks at this point? And
he's the leading candidate, So yeah, let it right up.
But he loses one game, coach, that's the problem. That's

(49:38):
gonna be awkward to and Jalen both on the Heisman
stage in New York. No, what I want is I
want Oklahoma to play Alabama in the playoff. That's what
I want. Hell yeah, And I'm rooting for one. I'm
cheering for Jalen. Are you kidding me? They made him wrong?
They did him wrong. I don't know if they did

(49:59):
him wrong him wrong? No, no, no, well they did
do him wrong in that whole offseason because he said
I'm not going to name a starter, even though we
knew after that National championship. Tool was going to be
the starter, but he kept saying in the media and
probably at practice, Oh, it's a battle. It's a battle
because he wanted Jaylen to stay around. But Jalen I
thought handled everything so beautiful. What does suck, though, is

(50:21):
that you do see a different Jaylen in Oklahoma. Well,
he's got a little edge to him, something you didn't
see in his personality in Bama. Yeah, and that is cool.
He's a little angry, a little. He took a team
team photo with the cheerleaders after a big win against
who they beat, Texas? That swag. I like Jaylen I
and I think maybe he realized, you know what, if

(50:44):
I want to be good enough, I got to learn
to throw the ball better. Or Saban didn't trust him
throwing the ball, and he was good all along, but
I think he took that time away when he to, Hey,
you know what, if I'm going to be a quarterback,
I got to learn to throw the ball. I'm under
the impression that playing for Saban's probably pretty stressful. Yeah,
but I look at to it and he lets to
a throw the ball, so he knows twa can throw it.

(51:04):
So I wonder if Jalen just wasn't. I never thought
Jaylen was good at throwing, but I mean they didn't
really let him air it out like they do now.
Coach Oklahoma has put two high love they love it
like this. This could easily be the third could in
a row Baylor or Baker? Who is the second one?
Hyler Murray? Murray and then now number one overall picks too. Wow,

(51:26):
Now Jalen's probably not gonna be a number one on No,
they're talking about him first round in the NFL dram Jackson.
Miami needs a quarterback. No, they're they're tanking for quarterback
too tight. Okay, let's go who all needs a quarterball with?
They got Tannehill. Dude, stop, he's not right. Yeah, he's
not a long term solution. Tampa Bay needs a quarterback. Cincinnati, Tennessee, Chicago,

(51:51):
Oh gosh, the Saints. Now they got Fridgewater. But I mean, yeah,
look at the quarterbacks gone. I mean there is a
lot of teams that need quarterbacks. Do you do you
look at the Falcons. I would get rid of Matt Ryan.
I'd get rid of him, get out of here. So
I would, even I'm not I would. I would trade
Philip Rivers too. Oh he's done, it's all I think.

(52:13):
I think he's one of the I mean he just
he's thirty seven, man, get over the he can't win
the big games and he's like thirty seven years old.
It's just not gonna get him. He's done an awkward
arm motion. Hey matt Um, who do you have winning
the Super Bowl? I mean, it's just got to be
New England there it is, of course. I mean, this
is the best they've looked ever, ever. Stupid. No, no.

(52:36):
They've played the Jets and the Dolphins and the Bengals,
Steers and that kind of stuff, So I it'll be interesting.
I don't know who they have, the Ravens at all
or Casey they play Casey Okay, I don't know if
Casey is on a little We don't need to bring
pits in here for this one. No, no, no, Casey
is talking about Mahomes may play this weekend. He dislocated.

(52:58):
That would be the stupidest thing ever. Now that they're
not saying this week he's practicing what they are he
is practicing, and they are saying next week. Did not
look good in the video. I saw he was still
limping for sure, Like, I just think it's so dumb. Yeah, okay,
you want to talk about Kevin Durant real quick, just
so we can talk about this. Let's Kevin Durant. He's
not even playing talking about the first week of bath

(53:19):
Basketball's been out a tweet and he was, what what
do you want to talk about? I think World Series
would be more important. Kadi had a burner account, y'all. No,
He's on a podcast for the Player's Tribune and they said,
name your all time starting five with the players you've
played with, and he put Sergebaca, Draymond Green, himself, James Harden,

(53:44):
and Kyrie Irving. So he put himself on the list.
Is at the argument? What you upset about? Where is
Stephen Curry? Oh? Where Steph Curry is better than Kyrie?
He's better than Harden? I mean, get like, is he
bitter because Steph Curry got all the love when he
was in Golden State and Steph Curry gets all the
love they So that's why I'm from the Bay Area,

(54:07):
so I get a little more of like the local
media attention. And it's always been Steph's team, right, That's
what I'm saying. But Katie carried. Katie carried that team, right,
I agree with you, same with the show. Excuse me,
I don't understand this carries the show. But he coached.

(54:28):
You could argue that they probably would have would have
had a good shot to win the finals if Katie
wasn't hurt. He did before he Achilles was stupid, right, Yes,
so I think he was never And I'm gonna compare.
I'm gonna go out on a limb a little bit
here and kind of compare the situation with Nick Foles
and Eagles. All right, Okay, Now, nick Foles was never

(54:50):
intentionally gonna be they were. They didn't acquire Nick Foles
to be like the dude that's gonna take the same level, right,
because the Eagles have never won prior to him getting there.
So Katie came into a situation where Katie wanted to win, right,
Katie wanted to ring. That's the reason why he went
to go. So now after the fact, Golden State has

(55:12):
a ring, Eagles have a ring. Now you kind of
compare the Nick Fole situation with Katie, right, how they're respected, right.
I heard from a very reliable source that when they
went to the Super Bowl so he's Super Bowl MVP. Right,
came up the bench and filled in for went Went
and did an incredible job. Right, and he was MVP. Yes,

(55:39):
Tom Brady, so the Eagles. The Eagles always treated Wentz
as their guy regardless even though Nick Foles won them
their first Super Bowl and was a Super Bowl MVP.
So going into the off season, he is not demoted
to second string. They go to the Super Bowl ring ceremony.

(56:03):
Who was all over the pamphlets and the itinerary went
picture everywhere it wentz Went. There was not one photo
of Nick Foles holding up the trophy. Super Bowl MVP
mentioned nothing. How awkward has that got to be? Right,
It's gotta be awkward, So you gotta be you gotta
be a little a little bitter in that sense, like Katie.
I mean, these comparisons are a little but I see

(56:24):
what you're saying, But I just think it's that's what
I'm saying. I say, Katie is a bitter person. Katie
was the MVP as well. Right, Oh yeah, true time.
But it's always been Steph's team. But it's still to
me that he's just bitter. That's why he's not putting
Steph on this team probably, So it's it's it's a
little child, it's a little diva move. Yeah. Yeah, he
shouldn't have put himself on the list either. Oh oh,
he's one of the best five he's played with. Yeah,

(56:45):
but that wasn't the question, like right, I mean it
was he was asked like, who would you put? What
five would you assemble? Yeah, I just think you I
see what you're saying. But I just think it's funny
he humble yourself. You don't because he just they're just
teaming up and he wants that brotherhood to be strong. Absolutely,
And and that's a good move. That's a power move.
It's a power move. But and Kye, Kyrie though he's

(57:09):
not he's not a team player. He's a cancer in
the locker room. Gotter be a team player tonight, cancer
in the locker room right there. I love it better.
So he put he put Harden and Westbrook in front
of So he put Kyrie, Irving, Hardened, Draymond Green, and
Star Jebaca. So he didn't even put he didn't even
put Clay Thompson, Steph Curry, Russell, rust Brook Like yeah,

(57:31):
so yeah, that's tough. That's a tough. That's a tough question.
I think to be I know, but the talent is
so stupid, a little bitter Betty syndrome there. Yeah, on that.
He should have put Z on the list. You know
what I'm saying. What a big zion dog. He's never
played with him. You want to make a splash, baby,
Put him on that damn list. Crown his eyes. You

(57:52):
guys are losing interest. You guys are done. What the
girls are doing on their phones is what our listeners
are doing. Why do you slapped the mike? That's pretty funny.
It's been my thing the last couple of days because
we're talking about if you want to crown their ass,
crown their assack in the day. Yeah, Eddie. Here's the thing.
So someone back in April would rather no. No, Someone
back in April put five thousand dollars on the Astros

(58:15):
to win the World Series seven to one odds. So
if you if they win, you go in cash in
for forty thousand dollars. What's the dealing deal? So there's
this thing called prop swap where you have these prop
bets you can sell the pip away. So the person
put it up for cell. Someone last night paid ten thousand,
five hundred dollars. Absolutely, give me ten grand. So he

(58:37):
made five thousand, five hundred dollars in the Astros may
not even win the World say, will not win the
World Series. It's over. In my eyes, it's over. It's over.
And you know what, baby, we got the Nationals plus
one and a half tonight against Grinky. He's horrible. Grinky
has been terrible this postseason. Horrible. But this is the
game they got him for. Listen, they're in the World Series.

(58:59):
Is this your pep talk? Yeah, this is because because
you you ain't got no faith whatever you're saying has
no faith, back in, get him, d Ross, get their ass, Zach, Grinky,
you were acquired for this game right here. You don't
expect Cole and Verlander to lose. Okay, so you're down two. Oho,
you're supposed to be one of the best pitchers in
Major League Baseball. You are. You have a six ra

(59:22):
in this postseason. But if you want to earn your stripes,
this is where you put the Astros on your back
and you go out and throw seven shutout innings and
get the Astros back in the series. This is why
they made the trade. Right here. Grinky has to step
up tonight and listen, Zach, Grinky is a weird dude.
He's a quiet dude, and he's a Why is he weird?

(59:44):
I'm just he looks weird. I don't really know anything
about Grinky. I'm just saying that. But tonight he is
going to have all of the Nationals park yelling at him.
He's gonna be on center stage and he's gonna shut
that stadium up. And then he's out of the room.
Grank leaves Granky there and he's like, there's no chance
they're gonna So what happened to the GM? Just got fired? Huh?

(01:00:05):
The assistant GM got fired because after they clinched the Alcs,
they're in the locker room and there's some female reporters
and he turns to them and he says, aren't you
glad we got Ozuna? Aren't you glad we got o Zuna?
Now see in it a good thing we traded for him.
Azuna had to serve a I think fifty game suspension

(01:00:26):
last year for domestic violence, so he directed that towards
female reporters. So it was a very you don't do that,
Like I'm saying, yeah, women, you see, it's a good thing.
We got him and boom gone fired. So, like the
videos came out recently, the women ryan, he said that, no,

(01:00:47):
I don't know his name. You'll have to look it up,
um assistant GM and so they said. The women came
out and said the women said that this happened, and
the Astros were like, oh, we don't think it did,
blah blah blah. But doing some further investigating they found
out that it was true, and so then let him go.

(01:01:09):
All right in closing joining with me, brothers, I'm in.
I'm called today. Anybody got any locks? Yeah, you guys
want to lock? Look this guy running here to my right.
He used to play for a team up in Indie
called the Colts, and they're welcoming a Broncos team who
I picked to make the playoffs. Decimated team, exactly, decimated team.

(01:01:31):
They are folding up camp for the year of the players.
Thank you very much. You just took my line. They
traded away Ama. They can't block anybody. Their defense didn't
get any pressure on the quarterback. And with that Colts
oh line, you're not gonna get to Brissette, Marlon, Max
gonna run left t Y Hilton across the middle. We're
gonna hit Pascal down and they're only got to give

(01:01:54):
up six. You're like a challenge your bedroom, and I'll
make this is This is another thing that's put in
their favor. They're doing the color rush, which is never
done hardly ever. The visitor of the home, the Colts
are coming out all listen, guys, So you don't think

(01:02:16):
the Colts are on a roll right now. They went
to Kansas City, beat the Chiefs. Then they come home
and they beat their division rival, the Texans. They're gonna
keep this bus rolling. Frank Reich is a top six
head coach in the NFL. In my eyes, he is
really good. He knows what he's doing. They're not gonna
be fat and happy. They are gonna keep marching towards
the playoffs. Everybody thought the ceiling was falling, the sky

(01:02:39):
was falling, Andrew Luck retires. They said, don't worry, we
got per set. We believe in you, and we only
got to give up six points to the giving up
Broncos coming on the road. Give me the Colts minus
six at home. Take it to the bank, guys. I'm
gonna lock one up We're gonna go across the pond.
We're gonna go to England at noon our time locally

(01:02:59):
here in America, Central time. Yes, noon, guys. I love
the Rams. Their minus twelve and a half. There's a
couple of touchdowns ish minus twelve and a half. Go
ahead and lock it up. Who are they playing? The
Bengals have a hard time tying their own shoes. They
can't complete a pass. Joe Mixon, he can get three

(01:03:21):
yards of care, three yards on the whole game because
the offensive line is trash. Andy Dalton the red rifle.
I don't know if no, yeah, he's playing on the
I don't know. I don't know if the red rifle,
you know, if he's just putting that thing away over
the season. But they are god awful. And who's gonna
be in their groove? Len Ramsey, Jalen Rams. I mean

(01:03:41):
they are gonna he is going to lock down Tyler Boyd.
I love, I love Tyler Boyd. But that's the number
one wide receiver. And here's another. So he has now
rejoined his former teammate Dante Fowler. Last time Fowler was
in London, he got arrested. So this is like his
redemption game. Okay, you know last year he got arrested.

(01:04:03):
Seven guys arrested, tat that's right, they're waiting for his ass.
They didn't want to pay the TA, they didn't want
to pay the town. They're not going to be in
the club tomorrow tonight, right, no clubs. And I think, uh,
I think Dante Falla is going to have another three
set game. I love, I love the win against your lot.
No he took, I'm taking. I'm just saying, like coach,
try and follow. I don't know, I don't know if

(01:04:24):
the podcast. I'm sorry you're bored. I thought this was
a fantastic and it was great, but by us saying that,
it's sped it up a little bit. Now, let Eddie,
do you have the door? I do? Do you guys
want to wait till Sunday? I don't have that time.
I want to do it Saturday, Saturday morning, eleven am.
Put all your money. And it's funny Matt mentioned them today,

(01:04:45):
app Appalachian State. What the actual Yeah? They and it's
during the Wisconsin Ohio state games. So you may have
to go back and forth, maybe not even find it
on TV, follow it on Yahoo Sports. Just PM three, guys,
make sure you have the APP Guys, they're playing South
Alabama to take the app State minus twenty seven. They're
gonna blow up South Alabama out. Oh it's easy money, guys,

(01:05:08):
shut just take app State because he mentioned them. No, man,
they've been good this year and they're playing who's a
South Alabama? Who are these? Dude? I love that when
Vegas gives you a twenty seven line for a team
that's gonna that's gonna blow them out by fifty. Take
the money. Shut the door. Wow, I mean you just
looked up App States line because he mentioned app State earlier.

(01:05:29):
Where's the game? App? It's in Georgia but here? Or
Alabama but here? Here's he has no idea. Here's the deal.
If you want to double it up, let's just parlay it.
Let's do a parlay. Shut the door. Okay, but sore
losers locks. It counts as two individual bets. But no, no,
no no, it's parlay it as one and I wanted

(01:05:49):
times two on my record. No no, no, no, it's partlay.
Let's do it part times three on my record. No no,
if you miss it, it's minus one. If you get
it right, it's plus one because you're saying, parlay, you
got a better together, so you gotta win both to
get it right right, But then I gotta win something
better than just one win. Okay, then play That wasn't
confusing at all. Well do separate then. But if you

(01:06:10):
want a game that you're gonna watch on TV, take
Ohio State. They're favored by what fourteen and a half?
Take it. It's not I'm gonna be closed, so your
bets are the exact same time, and you could be
cleaned out by two pm. Correct. That gives you time
to put more money in the bank. Banks are closed,
put more money in the bank, and he lose those
two games. You got a bunch of games by the
rest of the college football is good tomorrow LSU Auburn.

(01:06:32):
Get ready. A sleeping game that you're sleeping on is
TCU Texas. It's gonna be better than you think. Everybody thinks.
TCU is not very good. They're gonna play Texas tie. Yeah,
tease that down to fifty four. U can't wait for
Wisconsin Ohio State. That's early in the morning. You don't
have to wait for it. You wake up and boom,
let's turn on the TV and let's go where's that
game at day? And Lynch's favorite is gonna be there too? Oh,

(01:06:57):
my favorite urban freaking meyer. Mister, oh, I need to
spend time with my family. Then he comes out this week. Yeah,
I'd be interested in the Dallas Cowboys job. We don't
want his ass. Oh, mister, I gotta go spend time
with my family. He doesn't spending damn time with his
family would be a good NFL coach. No, I hate that.
Who asked him to be the Cowboys coase? One? Right?
So where did this question come up? I don't know.

(01:07:18):
I Super Sports, right, that's Hardball will be the Dallas
cow Boys coach nextion No, Hardball said he is not
going to the NFL. He wrote a letter to the parents.
He done in Michigan. No really, because they're about to
beat Notre Day in this weekend. Where does that? That's
a pretty even line. That's what's a Hardballs record against
ring teams like Owen. Anytime you start with the first name,

(01:07:40):
Owen's not good. Owen's good. Hey, And we owe we
owe in our gratitude of these people that listen to
this whole podcast because it was excellent. Matt Overton and

they pulled. There's a tractor that has hay and yea
and it is the most annoying thing ever all of Matts.

(01:08:42):
Matt knows he lived down there, and that one is
the most annoying. It is no, no, no, they're all annoying.
Where they stand on a bus so that doesn't have
a top on, and they're just standing there and it's raining.
It's gonna be a little damp. It's supposed to be.
Why do people do that? What's what's fun about it?
There's now they rip out the top of a fire truck.
I'm seriously, yes, dude, you think it's a fire it's
an emergency vehicle. No, it's just kid party and getting

(01:09:04):
crap on topic. You know your white truck jack. They
have those jacked up trucks now where they just put
benches in the back and people sitting the back of
a jacked up truck. It's not even a theme. It's
just a jacked up truck. I love it. I think
that's what it might. Jacked up truck. Yeah, I think
I might do that this week. I'm benches in my truck.
There you go, Hey, coach, where should I take Sarah
on the down Lower Broadway? Oh? I mean, dude, all

(01:09:24):
the artist bars. You gotta go to Georgia Cash just open.
He's still working on Aldine's h No, I haven't done
that for about what happened, man, I got kicked out
of there. Really yeah, I got way too drunk. They
boot him out, and that's because he was working for him.
You got drunk on the job. No, it was just
a different event. But I got bounced out. Really yeah, dude, Yeah, Hey,

(01:09:47):
are are you single? Sarah? We'll put your picture on
Sore Losers Tritter. We'll find it a date this weekend.
Don't do that. She's like, don't do that. She's like, no, no, no,
we can take a picture. We're gonna have a good
time for her birthday. This is her first Nashville true experience. Yeah,
that'll be fun. We might go to the Titans game
on Sunday. I'll be there. Not sure about that, but
you're gonna be there. Yeah, me and Ray. Who do

(01:10:08):
you think Titans are? Bucks? On the way out? Bucks? Titans? Yeah,
I mean coming off a bye. I love Arians as
a coach. I love No, I do too, But the
quarterback's been throwing seven interceptions a game. So I'm gonna
go Imamna, do you bet? Do you bet? No? No, no, no, no, no,
you know I'm gonna take Canna Hill a good news.
I heard that Ryan suck ups coming off. I are

(01:10:29):
soon a double doing will be out of a job.
No double. I'm gonna he's no, no, I don't care
if he hits the game. He's gonna win a game.
For the Titans. No, no, not because after this week
he's out. Because that's when suck Up comes back. He's
gonna win a crucial game because down the road the
Titans might may need this win to even sniff the playoffs.
They can win, they just can't win by five and

(01:10:50):
a half. You tease it up, Yeah, okay, because I
was gonna say it was only two two and a half. Hey,
the Cowboys gonna hear the Super Bowl? No, are they
gonna pay Dak? I mean that does that matter? I
thought you on the podcast, how do you think of
Dak as a quarterback? He likes him. I always thought
he was like average. There you go, twenty five million

(01:11:12):
a year. I think that's what your tiny thing is.
You're gonna the next quarterback to get a deal is
going to get more than Jared Goff. You can't pay
Dak that much. And when you payin to here's the problem.
When you pay your quarterback that much, what happens? You
stop winning because you can't afford you. I mean, look,
Seattle's doing it, they're winning. How much does Tom Brady make.
He's like the make fifteen or something. Yeah, he's down

(01:11:38):
in the middle. He's like the middle tier. And that's
what I'm saying. That's how they're able to win because
he's sat her. That's the key to winning. You win
or you win when your quarterbacks on a rookie year,
because once you pay them, you can't pay the other guys.
Once the Falcons pay Matt Ryan, guess what, they don't
have anybody to protect him because they can't afford anybody
Julio Jones a full year. That's what I'm saying. That's
why you got to get rid of Matt Ryan because

(01:11:59):
you you can't afford anybody else. Get rid of him
and start over. But as a player, Matt, don't you
just want to make the money now that the Irons
like the iron's hot, man, Like course, just give me
the money now because I'm not gonna be playing in
ten years. Of course, of course you got a yeah,
it's no I understand, but I'm saying as a GM,
but you realize at one point Brady was like that
give me the money right now, but now he's toned
it back. I only do it for ten million. I

(01:12:25):
just think that if they were to change some kind
of structure in the in the whole CBA, CBA. They
need to put the quarterbacks in their own categories so
that you don't it doesn't count, you don't screw the
other players that deserve to be I agree with you.
That's that's an actually interesting theory that they could do.
That's for a whole another podcast, coach. I don't know,
Hey man, we'll go two hours. Do you see how

(01:12:48):
do you know how frustrating it is because they are
ready to go after ten minutes every day ten minutes.
I could sit here and just talk to you about all.
Just bring pits in every time. You guys can talk
for dude, they'll have a three hour daily podcast. Oh brother,
that's not what I'm saying. An NFL player here that
has insights and things like that's a great theory about
how the quarterback should be separate. And I brought that

(01:13:08):
up at a PA meeting our reps where it matters,
and they pretty much just like looked at me like
I was really really dumb, like I had nothing, I mean,
nothing to offer it. I'm the long snapper. First of all,
I'm asking a question in a meeting about salary cap
and all that kind of stuff, and the guys that
we paid to make decisions, are doing a horrible job
at horrible job. Do you think you should go outside

(01:13:31):
because usually it's a lot of former players that are
the head of the NFL Players Association all that. Do
you think you should go and just get smart people
in the real world and bring them in. No, because
our president is a is a lawyer, is an attorney, okay,
background and h D. Murray Smith. He has no interest
in players. You know, he's not a former player. He
doesn't understand. Yeah, I think that position needs to be

(01:13:52):
held by somebody who's been in the game. Interesting, So
whenever Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, yeah, those guys
need to be up there. Yeah, okay, yeah, absolutely up.
Gene Upshaw was our former president referee. No, um, he
was a He's a Hall of Fame player. I'm thinking
